//------------------------------// // Waking Up // Story: My Little Kitty // by The_Light_Is_Dying //------------------------------// "Uh..." Twilight was the first to awake in the world. She touched her head, but instead of feeling her hard hoof, she feels a little, soft, furry something. She glances down at her hooves, and sees they are paws instead. Twilight is used to life without opposable thumbs, so she would be okay. The weirdest thing was that she still obtained her horn and wings! She was an Alicorn kitten, no doubt about it. "I need to find a mirror. This is all too weird." Twilight said to herself sleepily. But she didn't want to leave her friends. They would wake up, be scared, worry about her...and possibly get lost in a search! Twilight instead looked at her. She had a long tail that was the color of her hair, she had kept her mane. She was pretty sure her eyes were beady and the same color as her pony eyes, judging what Opalasence looks like. So far, there were no really big changes EXCEPT WAKING UP IN THE MIDDLE OF A CAT WORLD. Oh, and BEING ONE!!! Luckily, Twilight had researched the basic life of a cat, so she could help her friends along the way. Rarity might know some, because she has a cat back at home. Yes, but, does she watch Opalesence? Surely Rarity wouldn't allow her cat to hunt, so Rarity might not know what a cat's life consists of. Twilight had so much stuff running through her mind that she didn't realize Princess Luna waking up. "Ugh....Twilight, where are we?" Purred Luna. Twilight looked at the Princess. She sounded different. Twilight had called it. Cats meow, mew, pure, hiss, and occasionally growl to speak with each other. "Not sure, Princess. I think we're in the cat world, but my question is, where is the cat world and where is other civilization?" Twilight asked. She sounded...weird, too. It was kinda cool. Difference isn't always a bad thing, in Twilight's mind. Maybe being a cat would be easier than being a pony. Maybe the food would taste better and the dresses would be prettier. "Hey, Twilight? What would Spike be?" Pinkie asked. The others were awake. Twilight thought. Spike couldn't be a cat. I mean, he could, but wouldn't that be slavery, having a pet cat if you were one? Maybe Spike was a type of bird. Maybe he would be a dove or a cardinal....maybe a blue jay. Or maybe he'd be a chipmunk or a squirrel. "A chipmunk or a squirrel, or maybe a bird. I should have brought him along." Twilight said. When suddenly she heard a squeal. Three new cats approached them. "Oh ma gosh! Are y'all okay?" The kitten asked. She was yellow with her pink mane and tail. Apple Bloom! Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo approached. "Who are you anyways? Are you robbers? YOU CAN'T HAVE MY KITTY MARK!" The one that must have been Sweetie Belle said. That must be what they called cutie marks. Kitty marks. The one that looked like Scootaloo sighed, "We don't have kitty marks, Sweetie! Sorry, we're the Kitty Mark Crusaders! I'm Scootaloo, that one with the whole robber spiel is Sweetie Belle, and the one with the bow is Apple Bloom." "Luna, do you still that pad of paper?" Twilight asked. Luna nodded, "Then write that down. Cutie marks are called Kitty Marks." Twilight looked at the Kitty Mark Crusaders' confused faces. Sweetie Belle had a face that was so confused, she wasn't exactly sure how confused she was. "What's a....cutie mark?" Apple Bloom asked. "Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh! You don't know what a cutie mark is? It's the mark on a pony's flank depicting their special talent! It's the pony version of your fluffy wittle kitty marks!" Pinkie Pie cheered. "What's a pony?" Sweetie Belle asked. This time, Applejack spoke up. "A pony has four legs like ya, but they have these things called manes, and they have tails. But they have hooves instead a' paws. And we have snouts instead of little noses." Applejack said. Then she slapped her hand over her mouth, eyes big as pearls. "YOU do?" The Kitty Mark Crusaders said together. Applejack managed to whimper out, "I think I've said too much already." Rarity leapt next to her. "Yes, Applejack, yes you have." "We're from Equestria, a far off world full of horses! When a portal opened up and sucked us in we landed here." Rainbow Dash.
